Lunges and squats; how soon after BBL? (Photos)

Question

I'm 28 days post op from bbl and all I've done is light to moderate walking. I would like to start lunges and squats (without any added weights at this time as I've been told no weight lifting until 6-8 weeks).... unless that's ok of course and then I would start with only 8lbs each side..At this point is the fat grafted and is it ok for me to start doing more than walking?

For most patients strenuous activity can be resumed in 6 weeks.I would ask the plastic surgeon who performed your surgery for his/her opinion.Kenneth Hughes, MD, Board Certified Plastic SurgeonLos Angeles, CA

Thank you for your question. After a brazilian butt lift, Patients usually return to light activities almost immediately after surgery, normal activities 2 weeks after surgery, and vigorous exercise 4 weeks after surgery.  We usually experience a slow steady improvement for 3 months or so after surgery.That said, the best person to advice you is your specific surgeon as every surgeon will have his/her own preferences as to recovery for specific procedures.

Ron Hazani, MD, FACS · Answer

I recommend patients to resume vigorous exercise 5-6 weeks after surgery. Consult your surgeon since he/she knows the extent of your specific surgery.
